Purchasing a new iPhone every year is not a necessity by almost any definition of "necessary". So you are more like $500/year or $333/year or even $250/year depending on how often you refresh.

That isn't true with many Android devices because of the poor track record of OS upgrades and support.

Even if you do upgrade every year, iPhones hold their value very well, so you can sell your old phone for a substantial proportion of what you paid for it and only pay a fraction of the cost of the new one.
